I’m glad he found his way out, at any rate.

What do Catholics have against Evangelicals? How does Catholicism propagate if its adherents don’t evangelize?

The faith is spread by the blood of martyrs.

We evangelized until our faithless hierarchy told us it was hateful...

-——Ahmari gradually began to recognize the significance of Judeo-Christian foundations of the West, but that didn’t make him a Christian. “But it helped,” he writes. “If I enjoyed the beauty and ordered liberty I saw around me, then I had to give credit to the ideals that gave birth to it. You couldn’t have one without the other. The beauty and order reflected an underlying truth. It wasn’t my truth, but I no longer lightly dismissed faith.”


Interesting a former Muslim and Marxist can see that , but hordes of American progressive ideologues cannot see what is right in front of their faces...

Amen! A Soul may have been Saved!

Know this:
Return to God, a Moral people and Christendom! Anything Else if for Not! When you see the reunification of Christians into the One True Faith the Holy and Apostolic Catholic Church the End to the Darkness will be Assured... Until then PRAY for All the Lost Souls!

God Bless

My personal experience with Muslims is they can never accept they are worth Grace. It has been brainwashed out of them. But if they can pass this threshold they have a real hunger.

Hopefully his next step is Traditional Catholicism.

If this guy is so opposed to Evangelism, what’s the purpose of discussing his beliefs? Is it not to spread The Gospel? Is that not what Evangelism is?

"What do Catholics have against Evangelicals?

Nothing, FRiend. He's just describing his journey. Note for instance, he wasn't criticizing the text message, he found it remarkable. I do too. That's a good thing, not a bad thing.

"How does Catholicism propagate if its adherents don’t evangelize?"

Uh, pretty much the way he came round to it. RCIA classes aren't often but they are always full.

Twice following bouts of heavy drinking in my early 20s I found myself instinctively, almost spontaneously, going to Catholic Mass

I wonder if he ever considered . . . that he might be Irish.

I admired Evangelicals, but their theology didn't satisfy. I couldn't just blink and conclude 'I've been saved,'" he adds.

Paul wrote: for "WHOEVER WILL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED." Romans 10:13

Peter told the crowds in Jerusalem: "AND IT SHALL BE THAT EVERYONE WHO CALLS ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED.'" Acts 2:21

Peter, while witnessing to Cornelius: “Of Him all the prophets bear witness that through His name everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins.” Acts 10:43

Hopefully his next step is to come to know Christ as Savior.
